"Hello, madam, do you have any secrets for raising your son to be so good?" ESPN reporters are still very good at digging up news. When they caught Chen Guixiang, a middle-aged woman who seemed to be quite outgoing, she started asking questions.

Chen Guixiang's speaking level is not very good, because she usually lives in Chinatown, and the place where she lives is also a Chinese area. She usually speaks Mandarin all over the world, so she has few opportunities to speak English, so she will not slip away. If

If her Chinese speaking level is level 10, her English speaking level cannot exceed level 4 at most.

But she has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away. After living in the United States for so many years, Chen Guixiang has smoked and smoked, so it is no problem to say a few words. However, this is her first official interview, so she seems a bit reserved.

.

"No... there is no secret, just... just work hard! Journalists, you know, it is not easy for our Chinese children to become famous by playing basketball in the United States." Chen Guixiang still tried hard to finish the sentence. For her,

, this is quite difficult, and the interview is in English.

"It is said that Kane's home is in Los Angeles. Do you hope that he will come to Los Angeles to play in the future?" the reporter continued to ask.

Just as Chen Guixiang was about to answer, Xie Kai immediately took over: "Sorry, I'm still a player for the Memphis Grizzlies, so it's not convenient to answer this question."

Chen Guixiang was shocked. She was almost entangled by this reporter. This interview was really not just fun, it was also full of traps!

Next, Xie Kai answered a few more questions, but Chen Guixiang kept silent. She is not stupid, and she will make mistakes if she talks more. Her son is her treasure, and she will not cheat her just because she wants to be interviewed.

After the interview, Chen Guixiang patted her chest with some fear and said to Xie Kai: "Are all American reporters so direct and tricky when asking questions?"

Xie Kai nodded: "Yes, in order to write articles and attract attention, reporters must do everything possible to dig out news that everyone is interested in, so they sometimes ask some players about their lives, and they also ask naked questions about the future.

plans and other issues.”

"Then I will be interviewed in the future!" Chen Guixiang felt a little scared.

Xie Kai nodded: "Just try to ignore those reporters."

In the news after the game, there was not as much content about Xie Kai vs. Kobe as expected before the game. Neither of them played particularly well, and it was not these two who decided the final direction of the game.

Of course, today's media has increasingly higher requirements for Xie Kai. In their opinion, the data of 19+7+7 is already a sign of his poor performance. In a sense, this requirement has completely

Reached the standard of an All-Star player.

Xie Kai also felt that the media was no longer as picky about him as it was at the beginning, and everyone was suddenly tolerant of him, which made him a little baffled. For this reason, he even called his big brother Yao Ming to ask about it.

Yao Ming laughed at the time and said: "This phenomenon is very normal in the American sports world. For foreign players like us, especially those of yellow race, at first it was not only other black and white players in the league who wanted to exclude us and looked down upon us.

Even those in the media felt that we could not survive there. But when we did survive and might become All-Stars, the media began to brag about us again. At this stage, they are the most tolerant. But

Once you become an All-Star or a superstar, they will have higher demands on you, and if you fail to meet their expectations, they will blackmail you."

After Yao Ming's explanation, Xie Kai finally understood why he had received much less criticism from the media at this stage. Probably, they regarded him as an All-Star candidate.

After the game against the Lakers, the Grizzlies will return home to prepare for their next game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder entered the playoffs with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses last season. Their current record this season is 23 wins and 12 losses, ranking 4th in the Western Conference. Their record shows that this team with overflowing talent has gradually transformed its talent.

Talent has been turned into combat effectiveness.

The current situation in the Western Conference is not clear. The aging Spurs, Lakers and Mavericks all have good strength, but they do not have the absolute talent to suppress the Thunder. The Thunder's current problem is that once they enter the playoffs, they will encounter these few

A cunning team is likely to suffer due to its lack of experience in the playoffs.

However, the advantages of Thunder teammates are also obvious, that is, they are too talented and have too strong impact. They are afraid of young players. Those teams composed of veterans are also afraid of young teams like them who can't run away and are unreasonable.

Westbrook and Xie Kai are good brothers, so he called the day before the game.

"You have to be a little cautious when playing at your home court!" Westbrook joked when he came up.

Unexpectedly, Xie Kai refused directly: "No, your record is so much better than ours, it should be you who let it go!"

"But it's on your home court!"

"I do not care."

"Forget it, I won't let you down if you don't give up. I'm talking about Kane, Xie, have you been paying attention to the All-Star voting? Your vote count is almost the same as Chris Paul's?" Westbrook prompted.

Xie Kai didn't expect this, but he did seem to hear Arthur talking about "two Chinese all-star starters" yesterday.

Although Yao Ming was injured for the season, there is no suspense about him being selected as the starting center. The Sharks are getting old and Warcraft is on the East Coast.

So the other "Chinese", is he talking about me?

Combined with what Westbrook said today, Xie Kai was sure that the two of them were talking about the same thing.

"It doesn't matter if he starts or not, as long as he can advance!" Xie Kai said calmly.

"It doesn't matter, don't give it to me, I want it very much!"

"Okay, I'll leave it here. If I'm selected as the All-Star starting guard, I'll give it to you!" Xie Kai said decisively.

Westbrook laughed: "Good brother, but, I'm joking."

On January 5, the Grizzlies faced the Thunder at home. The Thunder currently have an excellent record and have many young talents in the team, so the attendance at FedEx Arena for this game was very good.

Fans like to watch focus games. The Thunder are currently the strongest in the Western Conference and are also a team that fans like very much.

The Grizzlies defeated the defending champions in an away game in their last game, which restored some confidence of the home team's fans in them. The previous series of losing streaks did make the fans a little disappointed, even chilling. Everyone hopes for the game against the Lakers.

The game is a turning point in this season, and the team can be reborn and become a truly strong team.
